I carried a new to me this fall 16 GH I purchased from a fellow member. This particular GH was ordered and sent to Kansas City in 1890. This GH has 30" barrels choked IC/M and weights just under 7 pounds on a O frame.

To make a confession, it took the fourth rooster before one fell from the sky. As good friend Jim Beilke likes to say, "If you give me enough opportunities I'll eventually hit one." I never shoot great this time a year with bigger coats and thicker gloves to stay warm.

It’s about the “how,” not the how many. Late season pheasants don’t play nice, so, congratulations on that prize.

Good going Matt. You proved the old saw true, Given enough bullets and enough opportunities you will kill some birds. Ha!!!

You are not alone in being challenged by cold weather hunting. Percentages drop at least as low as the temperature. All the best Matt.
